Articles and resouces about sexual harassment

Contributed by LuAnne Thompson

In light of recent events in the news and policy statements disseminated by federal agencies,  I collected a number of articles and policies to share with Faculty, Staff and Students in the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington.  I asked my research group to read these articles and then we discussed them together.  My group found that it was a good way to start a conversation about these issues.   I hope they will be useful.
